Logs. Number of atoms in about 1 ml of water = about 10^23 atoms…. number of atoms in the entire known universe = about 10^81 atoms
Look at that, the sun only lives a little more than twice as long as the turtle. Wait, that’s not right lol.
Log scale is not suitable for barplot.
Add neutrino oscillation and the lifespan (half-life) of muons.
The data selection looks random and I don’t even like the presentation. Is this someones first matplotlib exercise?
I would have liked for the bars to begin thin and become increasingly thicker so their area actually represents the age. this way, the visualization adds confusion without adding anything to the numbers.
A very good example of why log scales are bad for just about everything outside of the scientific community
I thought some kind of jellyfish is immortal, or could be if not capped by the sun’s lifespan.
Is this post meant to be satirical? This might well be the ugliest graph I’ve ever seen.
All this says is each nee car you buy should come with a kitten.

not treating that car very nicely are we?
